SUMMARY:Afternoon Book Group: The Giver of Stars by Jojo Moyes
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion of The Giver of Stars by Jojo Moyes. Copies can be picked up at the library. Sponsored by the Friends of the JHPL. \nAbout the book: Alice Wright marries handsome American Bennett Van Cleve\, hoping to escape her stifling life in England. But small-town Kentucky quickly proves equally claustrophobic\, especially living alongside her overbearing father-in-law. So when a call goes out for a team of women to deliver books as part of Eleanor Roosevelt’s new traveling library\, Alice signs on enthusiastically. \nThe leader\, and soon Alice’s greatest ally\, is Margery\, a smart-talking\, self-sufficient woman who’s never asked a man’s permission for anything. They will be joined by three other singular women who become known as the Packhorse Librarians of Kentucky. \nWhat happens to them–and to the men they love–becomes an unforgettable drama of loyalty\, justice\, humanity\, and passion. These heroic women refuse to be cowed by men or by convention. And though they face all kinds of dangers in a landscape that is at times breathtakingly beautiful\, at others brutal\, they’re committed to their job: bringing books to people who have never had any\, arming them with facts that will change their lives. \nBased on a true story rooted in America’s past\, The Giver of Stars is unparalleled in its scope and epic in its storytelling. Funny\, heartbreaking\, enthralling\, it is destined to become a modern classic–a richly rewarding novel of women’s friendship\, of true love\, and of what happens when we reach beyond our grasp for the great beyond.
